What is unmentioned is that behind the slaves and the giant ice quarry is the Tycoon's personal jet made of solid ice. Slave penguins being driven to exhaustion, worked to the point where they fall dead on the ground, so one tycoon penguin can fly around in his iced-out-jetliner? This penguin doesn't fly for me!!!!!

For my drawings, I vectorize and it cleans it up for me. ^_^ Then I go in and fix anything I don't like.

Wow, I wasn't able to check in for a day or two, so I just found this little thread and REALLY enjoyed it. Neat, to see some of your process.
Great job! Deserves more votes than it's getting.

Hmm, just went in for 3 Randoms, when I haven't bought any shirts lately (although still checking frequently) so what are the chances of liking them!?! Oh well, couldn't pass up the mystery!
...a number of shirts on teetrade.com

Congrats, other Adder. Sorry this guy already doesn't like you.

1) Please explain how "Greed for Power" is off the topic of "Greed" ?

2) Where is there a rule that says that they can't print the same sort of thing twice? How many tree shirts have been printed? What about birds? What about Ravens?

(also, +1 vote)

the beauty of that is that when the plane is getting ready to take off, they don't mind if there's ice on the wings.

He just might be a rich, entrepreneurial penguin instead of a greedy robber-baron penguin.

I mean, this is the 00's. And those diamonds might be moissanite. You never know. Just because el jefe doesn't dress like Bill Gates or other latter day fortune 100 guys, doesn't mean he's a greedy guy. He just has sartorial exuberance.

egg-actly. It's interesting that so many have associated the depiction of a typical business structure with "greed".

yeah that's exactly why I won't vote for this. The cute thing, it's just too cute. I know there are guys here saying "they are all man" and would wear this. I'm not really sure of the crowd you hang around with, but I can tell you if I wore this shirt out, being a man I would be the subject of ridicule. I'm not saying this isn't a good design...it is, for the ladies. Good luck wearing this shirt out if you're a guy.

Based on the current voting momentum it looks like this derby will finish tomorrow at: 1st- penguin, 2nd- pig, 3rd/4th- thief or hermit crab
so, if you like this better than the thief design and voted for both, take back your other vote

Yes, vote Shell Competition hermit crab - it is a very creative and well done , and an excellent statement on greed.

Isn't the coin slot usually on the piggy's back?
I haven't studied piggy banks, but can't think of ever seeing one with the slot on the head... good job with its facial expression though.

I have seen several with the slot on the head and on the butt as well.

Or everyone could take back the votes from the penguins. Sorry cho, but you've won so much and we've had penguins, share the wealth. Let the crab get some love.
